Sixth Printing. Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy for sale on the Internet. The inscription reads: 'To Brad: Beware of page 302! Richard Zacks.' I don't want to be too explicit about page 302. How about if I just say there are two of them, not pages, that's obscure enough. You can see the white and red covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The silver lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The edges and corners are in solid shape. The page edges look very good. There is a little crinkling at the top edge of the spine. The rear cover bows out a little bit, but it is tightly bound as is the front cover, and as are all of the pages from cover to cover, nicely tight, very solidly bound. The inside covers and end papers are black. They are very clean. There is one little puffy area on the front inside cover. The pages are exceptionally clean. I've scrolled through them several times without finding any instances of soiling. There are no markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the author's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust check it in the first few photos. It looks very good. There is just one tiny tear just off the top edge of the middle edge between the front cover and the front flap. There's a little crinkling at and around the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in very good condition as well. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'For the truly well-rounded "intellectual," nothing fascinates so much as the subversive, the contrarian, the suppressed, and the bizarre. Richard Zacks, auto-didact extraordinaire, has unloosed his admittedly strange mind and astonishing research abilities upon the entire spectrum of human knowledge, ferreting out endlessly fascinating facts, stories, photos, and images guaranteed to make you laugh, gasp in wonder, and occasionally shudder at the depths of human depravity. The result of his labors is this fantastically illustrated quasi-encyclopedia that provides alternative takes on art, business, crime, science, medicine, sex (lots of that), and many other facets of human experience. Immensely entertaining, and arguably enlightening, An Underground Education is the only book that explains the birth of motion pictures using photos of naked baseball players.'.
